The launch of ARC Raiders is almost here! After a bit of a wait, Embark Studios’ new shooter is finally releasing, aiming to compete with other popular games in the genre. We have the details on when you can start downloading it and how much space it will take up on both PlayStation and PC.
As a huge ARC Raiders fan, I really appreciate how Embark Studios is handling the game’s launch! They’re letting us preload it, which is awesome. It means we can download everything beforehand and make sure we have enough space on our consoles or PCs. Trust me, dealing with that after the game is released is a total pain, so this is a really smart move and will save us all a lot of hassle!
Find out how much space you need for ARC Raiders, and how to preload.
How To Download & Preload ARC Raiders
If you’ve already bought the digital version of ARC Raiders, you can download and start playing it now from your preferred online store.
Players could start downloading ARC Raiders on October 28th, two days before the game officially released worldwide.
The game will be available to everyone at the same time – there’s no early access. This also means you can all download it beforehand. Here’s a quick guide on how to preload the game:
- Head to the ARC Raiders official website.
- Click Pre-Order Now on the home page.
- Choose if you want to purchase the game on Steam, Epic Games Store, PS5, or Xbox Series X|S.
- Complete the purchase on the chosen storefront—check out its price and how much it costs, first.
- Once the transaction is done, the store listing will replace the price with an option to preload.
- Click on this, and wait for the game to be installed on your hard drive.
- Wait for completion, and ARC Raiders is now ready to play once the game launches!
